Cubs (Brown) vs White Sox (Taylor): 7/27/25, 1:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

If there was ever a time for a last stand from Ben Brown, it's right now.

Grant Taylor for the Sox? Isn’t he a bullpen guy? 

[Tryptamine]

There is no excuse for allowing Ben Brown to continue taking the mound. It's just throwing away games.

15 appearances, 1 start. so maybe he's an "opener"?

Hard to argue your point BUT...he's capable of putting together a solid start: he's done it before. That said, I'd guess this is his last start of the season barring more injuries. Fully expect Jed to add a starter in the next 72 hours or less which would then relegate young Brown to the bull pen.

I have a good feeling about Brown today. Anecdotally, he's leaving less stuff over the plate to get crushed lately, and you have a good chance to frustrate the white sox as long as you locate. I think he can afford to be off the plate and still get chase today, too.

[muntjack]

I think Ben Brown is going to be very good today.

Shaw has done what hes done in the 2nd half (331 wRC+, 2nd to Kurtz among players with 20 PA in the 2nd half) with a 96.9 contact% lol wut

[Geographyhater8888]

Time for the top of the order to get going, especially Suzuki and Tucker especially today with Brown on the hill.

Another left hander?

I think the cost would be prohibitive

It's about time that Dave Parker got into Cooperstown.

@Bertz Mentioned in the minor league game thread that none of Caissie, Alcantara, and Long are in Iowa’s lineup today. Going to be a fun next five days boys. My favorite time of the year 

[Derwood]

Oh great, Cohen again

God, I hope Brown recovers from his recent performance today.

Is the South side too long of a commute for Boog?

Just win please

[Derwood]

Busch took two pitches he could've hit to the moon

[soccer10k]

Hope I'm wrong but not the least bit excited for Brown today and my expectations could not be lower.

[PeanutPunch33]

Fantastic start
